Hi everyone. So in the last couple of weeks, I get a squeaking noise when I'm moving. It starts basically as soon as I start moving, and the faster I go, the faster and higher pitched the noise gets. It doesn't matter if I'm turning, breaking, or anything else, the only thing that gets it to stop is coming to a full stop.

I got under there to look for anything stuck and to check out the pads, but everything looks fine.

I'm thinking it might be a bad wheel bearing? Any other ideas?

Here is a short video I put on youtube if you would like to hear it: https://youtu.be/o1qSYuIP_ks

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked for warmth from the hub after driving? Have you tried rocking the wheel in and out for bearing play? Checked U-joints for play? Most times this is caused by brake pad rub and a warm hub after driving a short distance will confirm it. You can also jack up one wheel at a time and rotate it with the trans in neutral and the other wheels blocked to see if you can isolate the source. Good luck and keep us posted.
